Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

EcuadorWe enjoyed that the room was spacious and really clean. The hotel is perfectly located, close to many different public transportation stations and across the street from a convenience store. We also enjoyed the breakfast and amenities provided as well as the amazing laundry room!

ItalyInclude coffee with breakfast. I know the breakfast is japanese style but coffee would be a nice bonus!
This hotel exceeded my expectations! I have some lovely memories from Kyoto and the hotel was in such a good location! You can walk to the centre or there are many bus stops and subways almost right outside. The room was modern and clean, with a very nice bed and an amazing shower! 10/10 would reccomend.

SpainThere was breakfast included but this wasn’t great and you had to pay extra if you wanted coffee. We only got it the first day and then we skipped it.
It’s a super modern hotel, clean, nicely designed, good location, friendly staff, and has very decent rooms. we were happily surprised.

PolandIt's not really a problem but one have to keep in mind that metro station and Kyoto main station is a little bit away. Buses will take you there basically anytime though.
Location of the hotel is spot on. It's on the main street and the access to both Hankyu trains and city buses is great. As far as city sightseeing is concerned and you want to make use of buses, this hotel is more than enough. You can also leave your luggage before checking-in (the space is limited though). A free breakfast is a nice addition (nothing fancy but it's a great way for starting a day as you don't have to look for anything to eat).

NetherlandsEverything was excellent
A new interior. The room looked perfect. Easy connect your Netflix or Amazon Prime subscription to the television. You can check the status of the laundry machines on the television. (Washer and dryer in 1 machine.) Location in between 2 Subway lines. 1 line has a direct connection to Osaka, so easy for a day trip (at very low costs) I rebooked 2 times and HIGHLY reccommend this excellent hotel.
